When i went to Chéran river two weeks ago, i made an image very close to this one.
It was not the best time of the day and i was thinking too much to scout this new place so i did a little composition mistake.
Back to the office and editing the images, i looked at the file and decided to delete it and to re-make the photo with better conditions if possible.
I returned last week but it was in the early morning and this image needs to be done in the late afternoon.
So, i returned once more this afternoon. Arrived in the canyon, i ran directly to the right place and started by a few shots with normal exposures around 0.5 seconds.
Looking at my camera LCD, i found the water movements and the sky reflections unsightly and decided to make a very long exposure with my Hoya ND 400 filter. The result is the image posted above and for people interested in such details, the exposure was a little more than 200 seconds long.
After that, i walked a little along the river, did some photos of the water running between the rocks and about one hour later, i went back to my initial place under the very low light of the autumn dusk.
Without any filter, i could do two or three more images with exposures around one minute. After a close look on my computer display, i really think that my favourite is the first one done with the Hoya ND 400, just after my arrival.

I'd say you nailed it perfectly this time around Patrick. The stream leading you right up to the tall evergreens in the middle really makes the composition. Beautiful color and texture everywhere you look... as it should be:)
Magnifique! Des tons de terre comme je les aime. J'aime beaucoup ces deux arbres au fond de ce vallon, notre regard ne peut s'en détacher.
